Am trying to repair a submersible well pump that blew its start
capacitor because the water storage tank check valve failed. Am glad
to supply all the specifics if needed.
I replaced the blown start capacitor with a new one of same rated size.
Started up pump and it only ran for < 1 minute and pumped ~ 2-3 gal of
water. Same thing happened when the old capacitor was going bad.
The physical size of the new start capacitor is smaller than the one
it replaced but the rating is the same.
Am interested to find out what the symptoms are for too small start
cap. Am wondering if it is better to error on a larger size?
Thanks
Ken
